Description:

California’s Mediterranean climate and heterogeneous geography combine to create both opportunities and challenges for its ecosystems and the people that live in and depend on them. In this webinar we: Examine the temperature and precipitation patterns that define the state’s climate. Explore how the steep gradients in the Sierra Nevada shape our water resources. Assess how past droughts inform future water-security challenges. Project how important source-water areas will respond as the climate continues to warm. Consider how the state’s water balance is changing. No contact hours are awarded for this webinar.
